Ex-footballer: 'I was trafficked into the UK'
Thousands of young boys are being tricked into leaving their West African homes each year with the promise of becoming footballers.
The extent of the trafficking is revealed in a report by the non-governmental organisation Foot Solidaire, which helps send boys back home after they have been duped by unscrupulous agents.

He is now working with the Premier League to raise awareness of the issue.
